The orchestra’s last-line defense They also see the audience And, spying in the distant offing, They spot the man who does the coughing – The school girl in expectant dither – The wife who dragged her husband with her – The novice groping in a maze – The critic whittling out a phrase – And those who sleep – and those who snore Which makes them groan and grunt some more.
